Quicklime vs Hydrated Lime - Sodimate
Though hydrated lime and quicklime are both calcium compounds, they differ in many ways. The main differences between hydrated lime and quicklime are their reactivity & their chemical composition. The chemical formula of Hydrated lime- Ca(OH)2 The chemical formula of Quicklime - CaO Hydrated Lime Also called calcium hydroxide. Has a density of 0.5 g / cm³. Is a colorless crystal. Quicklime Also called calcium oxide. Has a heavy density of 1 g / cm³. Is a white, caustic, alkaline, and crystalline solid at room temperature. It is necessary for calcium oxide (quicklime) to be slaked in a controlled environment because it can create heat that reaches up to 50 degrees Celsius. Calcium hydroxide, or hydrated lime, is already neutralized, so it will not undergo oxidation and can be mixed with water in our system, for water ph control, lime slurry addition, lime slurry mixes, soil rehabilitation and more. The fact of adding water to the powdered quicklime, putting it in a kiln or oven...
